Welcome to your House of Representatives,

Thank you, Madam speaker. Today I would like to introduce the students from. Excuse me. Introduce the students, teachers and chaperones from Wanala Middle School. School I attended back in the day.

Any further introductions? Okay, let's move on to the order of the day. Item number five, reports of standing committees. Representative Kahaloa.

Madam Speaker, I move to adopt Standing Committee reports, numbers 59026 through 76226 as listed on pages 1 through 43. And that the accompanying House bills as may be amended past second reading and or be referred to their designated committees.

Representative Morikawa. Madam Speaker, I second the motion. Okay, Members, before we jump in, I just wanted to note, I will not be calling the dash 26 for every single one of the Committee reports. We're just going to go by those first three digits. Okay?

If there are no objections to that, let's start off with standing Committee report 590. 591. 5 on 591. Representative pic.

Thank you. Sorry. For 590 and for 591.

No vote on 590 and 591. So so ordered. Report number 592. Representative Peric. No vote, so ordered. Report number 593. Representative Pyrrick. No vote, so ordered. 594. Representative Pyrrhick.

Representative Pick.

No vote, no vote, so ordered. Report number 599. Representative Peruso with reservations, so ordered. Report number 600. Representative Peric in opposition. Please proceed.

Alrighty. So this Bill basically says if you're terminally ill and you're a prisoner in prison, you can go out free because after all, you're going to die soon. Now, I was a hospice chaplain. Some of my assignments were to go to OCCC and to visit terminally ill patients who need to be incarcerated in hospices.

Sometimes we had patients that would graduate from hospice, meaning they got healthy enough where their prognosis wasn't six months to death. So let's say we let somebody out of prison, it's possible for them to get healthy again. So that means we could be potentially letting out rapists and murderers back into the streets if they get healthy again.

So this is a soft on crime bill that I'm voting no on.

So ordered. 613, Representative Garrett. Thank you, Representative Garrett.

My apologies, Madam speaker in support.

Please proceed.

The brief comment. Thank you, Madam Speaker. This bill is about modernizing the way we fund the University of Hawaii today. UH operates under a highly fragmented line item budgeting structure that is far more prescriptive than most public university systems across the country.

Hawaii is very unique in how tightly we allocate higher education funding. That structure was designed for oversight. And of course, oversight remains important. But in an environment where universities must respond quickly to enrollment shifts, research opportunities and workforce demands, rigidity can become a barrier. HB2519 HD1 provides measured flexibility, not unchecked autonomy.

It maintains constitutional guardrails and transparency while giving UH the ability to strategically plan and operate more effectively. This Bill does not remove accountability. It strengthens our ability to demand results while giving our university the tools to deliver them.

If we expect UH to compete, innovate and serve our students at the highest level, we must give it a structure built for today, not one designed for decades past. Thank you.

Okay. And my reason for this was if it takes added salaries for both of these entities, HHFDC and HPHA to to get their work done in Lahaina for our fire recovery efforts, then so be it. But that was my point of contention. That job hasn't been gotten done. So. Thank you.

Okay, let's finish. 682. Representative Pierick.

Thank you. In opposition.

Please proceed.

Okay, so this bill would basically use hard earned taxpayer dollars to pay off people's electric bills. That's one way to for some people, reduce the cost of electricity. But I believe a better approach is for all of us to work together to reduce the cost of electricity for everybody.

And that can include getting rid of the 2045 mandate to convert our state to 100% renewable energy. It's really an unattainable goal and if we instead switch to diverse energy firm energy and nuclear power, we can reduce the cost of electricity. So I'm voting no.

Representative Garcia.

Okay, let's go back up to standing Committee report number 680. Representative Shimizu.

Thank you Madam Speaker. With reservations and a brief comment.

Please proceed.

I understand well intention of this bill and I don't disagree that we need to be sustainable just in conversation with laymakers. It is difficult to get locally sourced flowers for their volume of business.

So I would just caution that we allow the market to dictate their actions as they're financially able to. Thank you

Representative Gedeon.

Madam speaker, for 680. Could I do WR?

So ordered. Any further discussion on. Oh, Rep. Cochran.

Thank you, Speaker. I stand in strong support. As a personal lei-maker myself, I'm able to collect flowers just on my own personal level.

And I will hope that this will prompt us to not have to bring in outside imported flowers because Orchid Island of Hawaii should be growing the orchids, you know, and so Hawaiian tropical flowers should be prominent and growing everywhere here as they're tropical and we're in the tropics.

So I hope this will prompt us to utilize our agricultural lands in this manner to start growing our beautiful floral plants so that's my reason for strong support. Thank you,

Representative Shimizu.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. May I adopt the words of the previous speaker as my own?

Still with reservations.

Still with reservations. Thank you.

So ordered. 686, 687. Representative Pierick.

Okay, so this bill would ban conversion therapy for people from 25 years old and younger. So everybody in our gallery. It's currently illegal for counselors to say, you know what? You weren't born a homosexual. Everybody's born heterosexual. But you choose to have a lifestyle other than heterosexuality.

This bill would expand that from 18 years old to 25 years old. That's not good. If God already said that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, he did a good job. If he said in Genesis 1, I made you male and female. This bill says counselors can't say that basically to their clients.

They can't try to convert a Member of the LGBT community back to heterosexual cisgender. Government should not police private conversations between a counselor and their patient. This bill gives government control over family and personal matters. I'm voting no.

Same request.

Thank you, Madam speaker, in support.

Please proceed.

I just want to clarify that conversion therapy is already illegal in the state since 2018. Counselors shouldn't be practicing conversion therapy right now anyway. But what this bill does is put in protections for victims of conversion therapy who have been fallen to this deceptive practices.

In case of a pending court case before the Supreme Court, if the courts choose to reverse many other states conversion therapy ban laws. Thank you,

Representative Kapela.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. In strong support. Can I adopt the words of the tourism Chair as if they were my own?

So ordered, Representative Pierick, second time.

Thank you. Opposition.

Please proceed.

Okay. In the NEFLA vs Burka 2018 Supreme Court case, it held that the government generally cannot force private conversations to communicate state mandated messages because doing so violates the first Amendment's protection of free speech. This bill opens the door to lawsuits and professional discipline with vague definitions for change. Reduce and discourage.

The Supreme Court right now has, I believe, six out of nine of the Members lean conservative. So it's unlikely that this court case will be overturned. So this bill is basically hoping to become an act, to become like a trigger bill.

If that Supreme Court case gets overturned, then there are, you know, the advocates of this bill are hoping that it, it further prohibits conversion therapy. This is a bad idea. I'm voting no.

Representative Tam.

Thank you Madam Speaker. Still in support. Just want to clarify that the courts have given us the ability to regulate deceptive practices.

Standing Committee report number 688, Representative Garcia.

So ordered. Representative Ilagon.

No vote.

Thank you Madam Speaker. I stand in strong support for HB20 with comments.

Please proceed.

Thank you. HB20 is a subsidy Bill. It subsidize low income families with a gross income at or below 80% AMI in lava zones 1 and 2 for Hawaii county that is a single or two person household at about 60,000 to 70,000 annually. This means a family can pull a mortgage up to 400,000 and buy a home.

In lava zones one and two where the medium home sale price is around 350,000, that is factoring in a homeowner's insurance of $1,000 a year.

Did you know Madam speaker, these were 2018 figures pre lava eruption that the US average for homeowners insurance is around 2,500 a year which is over $200 a month for a home valued at 300,000.

Now these low income families after 2018 post lava eruption on the high end are paying $8,000 a year which means their monthly premiums is up to $700 a month. All these numbers may seem confusing and doing the math can be difficult, but Madam speaker, imagine yourself in these family shoes.

Imagine working hard to finally buy a home and then after a disaster facing premiums that jump start suddenly and put your home at risk. To face these issues after a disaster is devastating. Low income families are asking for relief at a time where their homeowner premiums have gone up eight times their original amount.

We must have compassion for these low income families who have no place for lava zones one and two to build a home. On top of that they are families who are at below 80% AMI who are an even more vulnerable part of the population.

They are a minority on the Big island because insurance companies has discriminated against them to their geography. They are a minority due to their income not being able to make enough. And in being designated as low income families, we are known to be a body who helps minorities.

So let us help this demographic, this minority of minorities in a time when they need the help the most. Madam speaker, we should be by their side, helping them stay in their homes.

Representative Muraoka.

Madam speaker, may I have the words of the previous speaker adopted as my own.

In support.

In opposition.

In opposition, yes, and so ordered.

But my opposition doesn't go against what was just said. My opposition goes against what could be coming. I agree we need affordable places for our low income families to call their own. However, when you buy a house, they let you know that it could be in a inundation zone, it could be in a lava zone.

And I feel that if we do allow this, it could be potentially be so harmful because now it becomes an investor's dream. So our low income families who finally had a place to call their home will eventually be pushed out by rich investors, possibly rich out of state investors. That is the reason for my opposition.

Representative Kapela.

Thank you Madam speaker. In strong support with a brief comment. For many local families, living and buying in lava zones 1 and 2 is not a luxury choice. These are areas that are some of the only remaining affordable places in Hawaii island and in the state to buy property.

These are families who are doing everything they can in order to stay in Hawaii rather than being forced to live leave to the continent. These are teachers, healthcare workers, Kupuna, working families who are simply trying to get by and remain rooted in their communities.

Since 2018, as the representative from Puna had mentioned, and over the last couple of years my office and well, really two of us, because there are only two of us who represent areas that have lava zones one and two in our communities have experienced extreme numbers of calls and emails from constituents who are facing skyrocketing insurance costs.

These are premiums that were once around 700 to maybe $1,000 a year that have now ballooned to over $8,000 annually. For families that are already living on the margin and in tight budget conditions, that's unsustainable. I have had community Members call and beg, beg for support just so they can stay here in Hawaii.

And we have to remember that without property insurance, families cannot obtain or keep a mortgage. This isn't just an insurance issue. This is a housing stability issue. Because like it or not, people live in these zones already. This measure is carefully and narrowly crafted. It applies only to low income residents who live in their homes.

And if you read that bill, then you know that that's already in there. It also ensures that investment properties do not qualify. This bill is about protecting people who live in these communities currently. And this is not about speculation and not about profit.

I also want to remind folks on this floor that every single year millions of people come to Hawaii to see the volcano. They come to Hawaii, they visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Annually, there's about more than 10,000 visitors per day that come to visit and experience the natural wonder of the volcano.

Those visitations generate approximately half a billion dollars a year in annual visitor revenue. Surely it is just and reasonable for us to support the vulnerable residents who who live in this community. This Bill is about fairness. It's about housing stability. It is about ensuring that local families have a fighting chance to stay in here.

Stay here in Hawaii. And that's all we're asking for support.

For Representative Muraoka a second time.

Madam speaker. If what the previous speaker said in opposition, you know, I'm actually changing to reservations. If what the previous speaker said is actually true and it does only protect our low income families, she is correct. I didn't read the bill in its entirety as I've been pretty busy as everybody else is.

So I will go reservations and look into this bill.

Thank you, Representative Shimizu.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. With reservations, I'd like to mahalo and acknowledge the speaker from Kalapana and from Kau. Appreciate their insights and their relevant firsthand sharing that changed my initial vote from a no to reservations. I need to learn more about this bill and be able to support it fully.

But I want to mahalo the again the words of the representatives from the Hawaii Island. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Representative Souza.

Thank you Madam Speaker. In support, please proceed. And I would like the words of both of the representatives from Hawaii island inserted into the record as my own so ordered.

This bill repeals the salary cap for the state librarian. So who knows how much they'll get paid after this vote, after this bill if it becomes a law. I'm voting no.

There's no doubt that we support teachers and their need to recover fair compensation. My opposition would be just the method that we are targeting a industry with a very significant tax increase, which I think is going to. Affect our economy.

You know, I know we're looking for ways to gain income and we need to be creative, but I just think that this may not be the right way to do it. So although I appreciate the creativity and the introducer, I am in a position. Thank you. Madam speaker.
